Quarto project as part of existing RStudio project

[wiesehahn]

Hi,
I would like to create a Quarto book or website for documenting a project which is already existing as RStudio project.
How would I do this / Whats the best-practice?

I can simply initialize e.g. a Quarto book project within the RStudio project but this seems not right. I didnt think too much about the advantages/disadvantages but I think it makes more sense to manage the project as one.

Yes, you can just add a _quarto.yml file to the directory defining the book and next time you start RStudio it will be recognized as a Quarto project.
